During Billy Graham’s landmark 1954 London Crusade, his team developed a simple system to bring people to faith known as “Steps to Peace with God.” Since that time, and in various printed and electronic forms, this succinct and clear presentation of how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and experience peace with God has been translated into dozens of languages and shared with millions of people.
